13 of the 1950s' Most Iconic Hairstyles

The 1950s were an enormously influential decade for American style, and 1950s hairstyles shifted accordingly. Post-WWII, the US was rebuilding its economy and moving (haltingly and often painfully) towards social change. The dynamism and simultaneous retreat to more conservative times are both apparent in the era's styles, which veer wildly from rockabilly hair to pixie cuts and primly waved bobs. It was a time of great change and style to match, so check out some of the decade's most prominent highlights.

Billie is an interesting one. Beautiful and blessed with those pipes, but her life story is threaded with addiction and depression. I wish someone would make a biopic. Just curious, have you read any of Marilyn's biographies? Talk about a misunderstood woman.

Annie, not really! Most people usually idolize Marilyn or Audrey, and although those ladies sure were charming, I don't find them that inspirational. I guess that's why I liked this slide show so much, you girls went beyond the clichés. I especially loved seeing Billie Holiday here, but I'm such a fan of her voice, I think even if she had the most hideous hairstyle in the world I'd still like it!
